In the new competitive environment of maritime business, a need for evaluating
supply chain integration of ports has emerged. The aim of this paper is to
evaluate the supply chain integration of three container terminals located in
the Aegean Region of Turkey. We have developed a model consisting of four
constructs: “relationship with users”, “information and communication systems”,
“value added services” and “multimodal connections and systems”. We have also
conducted a questionnaire through the shipping companies which use the
container terminals and tested the validity by means of performing Confirmatory
Factor Analysis. The results indicate the two privately owned container
terminals are more closely integrated with the supply chain than is the
publicly owned container terminal. On the other hand, multimodal connections
and systems of the two privately owned container terminals are less supply
chain integrated than the publicly owned container terminals since the former
lack adequate rail and road connections.

Anahtar Kelimeler

TÜRKİYE’NİN EGE BÖLGESİNDEKİ KONTEYNER TERMİNALLERİNİN TEDARİK ZİNCİRLERİNE ENTEGRASYONU

Öz

Denizcilik işletmelerinin
yeni rekabetçi çevresi limanların tedarik zinciri entegrasyonlarını değerlendirme
ihtiyaçlarını doğurmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin Ege Bölgesinde
bulunan üç konteyner terminalinin tedarik zincirlerine entegrasyonlarını
değerlendirmektir. Bunun için dört yapıdan oluşan bir model geliştirdik: “kullanıcılar
ile ilişkiler”; “bilgi ve iletişim sistemleri”; “katma değerli hizmetler” ve
“çoklu ulaşım bağlantıları ve sistemleri”. 
Buna ek olarak konteyner terminallerini kullanan denizcilik
isletmelerine anket uyguladık ve bu uygulamanın geçerliliğini Doğrulayıcı
Faktör Analizi ile test ettik. Çalışmanın sonuçları göstermektedir ki iki özel konteyner
terminali tedarik zincirlerine devlet tarafından işletilen konteyner
terminalinden daha fazla entegredir. Öte yandan, devlet tarafından işletilen
konteyner terminalinin “çoklu ulaşım bağlantıları ve sistemleri“ iki özel
konteyner terminalinden, yeterli demiryolu ve kara yolu bağlantılarına sahip
olmadıkları için,  daha fazla tedarik
zincirine entegredir.
